A'hoy, fellow champions.

Repost-master Caticorn is back again with a frustrated question.

What is this electrical connector and how do you unplug it?



Awesomely,
Caticorn

 

where is it mounted?

press arrow and pull

 

It's mounted on top of my throttle body (unlike just about every picture of a 4th gen max vq30de I've seen )

I tried pushing there and pulling but it wouldn't work. Maybe I was being a ***** and not pushing hard enough.

Cheers.

 

The clips get brittle and stiff over time. Use a small flat head and push down on the tab while gently pulling/prying. Be careful, I broke two coil harnesses like that because they were so brittle. Plastic doesn't like hot engine bay temps for 13 years I guess...

 

looks like a sensor plug... maybe for the egr????

 

Pretty sure it's for egr or something of the likes.

With a little force the clip will release. Don't use excessive force or you'll snap the clip off.

 

Thanks, everyone. My pussmatic hands couldn't push it down enough so I used needle-nose pliers.

 

Harness on top of throttle body?? How many 4th gens have you seen this on. I have seen about 5 without it where it is located in this pic.
